Executing a Transition
This section describes the transition execution modes, transition rate setting,
and the procedure for executing a transition.
Overview
Transition execution modes
There are two modes: the auto transition mode, carried out by pressing
buttons, and the manual transition mode, using the fader levers. It is also
possible to combine these two techniques.
3-M/E system equipped with downstream keyer, it is only possible to carry
out downstream keying in the auto transition mode.
Transition progress indicators
The fader lever on each of the mix/effects banks and the program/preset bank
on a 3.5-M/E system has an indicator on the left, comprising 30 LEDs. This
shows the current state of progress of the transition, whether it is being
executed manually with the fader lever or as an auto transition.
In the example shown in the figure, the transition is a little more than half
way completed. When the transition is completed, all of the indicator LEDs
go off.
